At last... Ferrari now have their own F1 series :)

[motormania]

A1GP have secured a deal with Ferrari to supply engine and chassis over the next 6 years. Finally we can kick them out of F1 and let the real racing begin, while they go off and celebrate winning every race in the A1GP, though it would not surprise me if the Italian A1GP team started to win more races...

[rustybin]

Apparently they nicked the idea of supplying all the cars for a series from the McProcedes master plan. Makes a change for ideas to be going in the other direction for once.

Is this for real? can't seem to find it on the A1gp site or anywhere else.

Don't LAUGH that would be GREAT - team stuff is all Bollox - I just want to see the best driver in equal cars with no TC and no advantage bar skill - they look a bit daft but they are great cars from the time I have watch them on TV.

Poof's and if A1 had the F1 drivers in it I would - F1 with one team having a much better car than the next is what make it crap - level od spending to get bugg performance advantages it stupid - close racing is worth watching anything else is just CRAP.

If A1gp is that great, why does'nt anyone watch it?

Because it is not on live on terestrial TV.

If it was, I think viewing figures in the UK would begin to slowly rise. I would be happy to watch it if the BBC were to run it live

I stand corrected - thought they did though from the sound when downshifting and cornering.

I'd watch it (went to Brands this year) on TV if I has satellite TV - and if I knew when it was on channel 5!

A1GP - looks good, sounds good...

Maybe Bernie and Max should start to worry, but then again is that why they've setup a winter series of F2 or F3 is it? I wonder why...
